Drunk, Disorderly And Stupid

Journalists, usually so quick to judge and editorialise, see nothing wrong with this:

THE warning "Don't bother, I'm not drunk yet", printed on the tight white T-shirts of two young girls celebrating Schoolies' Week on the Gold Coast this year seemed to have little effect on the drooling, eager boys around them.

With outstretched hands trying to touch the young girls' breasts and bottoms, the mottos the boys wore on their T-shirts - such as "Plastered" and "Good Evening Bitches" - were perhaps a fairer representation of their true intentions.
And "Don't bother, I'm not drunk yet" isn't a fair representation of the girls' intentions? The young 'ladies' note a significant event in the making:

"We are sober. It's unusual I guess, but we are pacing ourselves and playing it cool," Brisbane girl Lejla Becirbasic said as she and her cousin Zejna Vojic brushed off the male attention sparked by their cautionary T-shirts. "Well, at least for tonight."
Cautionary?

The caption for the accompanying photo notes that Ms Becirbasic is 17. It is illegal for her to consume alcohol outside the family home. And by her own admission, it is unusual for her to be sober.

Mr and Mrs Becirbasic, you must be so proud.

Meanwhile, in other stupid bint news:

RAILCORP in New South Wales has launched two internal investigations into a smear campaign against a young female employee, with nude pictures of her circulated after she was promoted. RailCorp last night confirmed it was investigating how the photograph of transport security adviser Kimberleigh Kamstra ended up being emailed to the computer of a colleague. Ms Kamstra is said to be distraught at the circulation of the photograph...
Indeed. For how did a colleague come into the possession of such a personal and private item?

...which she sent to People magazine when she was 23, almost two years ago.
One should forgive her youthful indiscretion, a lifetime ago.

Transport security adviser?

Stay off RailCorp trains. That's my advice.
